-       lw      v0, _C_LABEL(__minbrk)

+       PTR_LA          t0, _C_LABEL(__minbrk)
+       PTR_L           v0, 0(t0)

        syscall

-       sw      a0, _C_LABEL(__curbrk)
-       move    v0, zero

+       PTR_S           a0, 0(t0)
+       move            v0, zero

Should we still preserve t0 for __minbrk??
